|  Limited shock travel
Just put together my kit icon shocks. All seems smooth until I fill them and put the cap on. Once the cap is on, won't even travel half the shock length. It is as if the piston isnt allowing fluid, but I don't know how it could be blocked. Rears only. Front seems fine. |

When you fill them with fluid, make sure that when you are ready to put the cap on that you only thread it on about half way and then compress the piston to allow the excess fluid to come out. Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk |

When building shocks with oil in them compress them all the way then tighten shock cap.

You have too much oil in your shocks, take some out and you should be good Sent from my XT1042 using Tapatalk |
